This release is a major step toward a proper multi-device JellyCine architecture, with a new TV app foundation, a cleaner phone/TV module split, improved playback handling, IntroDB/TheIntroDB segment support, and a lot of detail-screen polish.

• Added initial KPM setup
• Split the app into dedicated phone and TV modules while moving shared UI/image infrastructure into a shared module.
• Added IntroDB and TheIntroDB playback segment support for episode skip markers.
• Added dedicated skip/credits actions in phone and TV players instead of a single generic skip-credits action.
• Added auto-advance countdown to the next episode during credits.
• Improved Jellyfin playback negotiation, HLS session handling, and negotiated transcode URL usage.
• Added a player setting to control next-episode cache behavior.

• Added remaining-time badges to Continue Watching cards.
